Their surface is subject to the action of the winds and is therefore in constant motion. The tidal wave af- fects the lowest depths, while perma- nent currents traverse almost every sea. Action of Waves. Everyone who has stood on the sea- the wearing action of watgr on the | coast is considerable. Dn shores which | are bounded by chalk cliffs, the sea seperated from the rock. This destroy- ing action of the waves is visible on every coast. Where the sea barrier is a hard and resisting rock, frequently cliffs stand out of the water some dis- tance from the shore, indicating place to which the mainland formerly stretched. Examples of this are of fre- quent occurence along the Scottish coast and the west coast of England. If the seaboard be of a soft species of deposit, the action is of course, much more rapid. Thus on #he coast of Yorkshire, form Bridlingotn to Spurn, some 36 miles, the waves erode eight feet annually, so that the sea has en- croached two miles since the time of the Romans. Many old maps of York- shire indicate that villages stood where now the waves hold undisputed pos- session, and ports mentioned in bygone history are no longer to be found. | All coast lines are thus acted upon, | the destructive operations being car- | ried on with more o: less activity, ac- cordingly as the coast is low, the cliffs of soft material or of hard rock. We are not considering the gains of the sea or we might alude to many terrible inundations which the histories of Hol- land and the adjacent low-lying coun- tries record, of vast tracts of land sud- denly swept over by the sea, destroy- ing hundreds of villages and their in- habitants. It is true the persevering industry of the Dutch has raised dykes against their great enemy and by en- closing many of the meers with such ter they have reclaimed from the de- shore and watched the breakers roll | in and dash themselves to spray ag- | ainst the cliffs, must have felt that | margin is rendered milky by particles | of the chalk which the waves have | the | walls and then pumping out the wa- | | vastator much of his prey. We only | mention the action of the waves as | they erode the shores they wash. The 1 particles of mater they thus mix with | their waters are thus swept away by currents, and in tranquil spots, or al- |ong the path of the current, the sedi- | ment reaches the bottom and there | forms a new deposit. | Of the various oceanic currents we shall first speak of the tides. All bod- | ies attract each other. The power of the force exerted depends upon the weight | of the bodies and their distance from | each other. The weight of any body is, | in fact, the force with which the earth | attracts the body to itself. The celes- | tial bodies are all chained together by | this force of attraction. The sun and [the moon both exert their attraction | influence on the earth, inducing our planet to approach them. This attrac- | tion being counterbalanced by centri- | fugal force, we describe a curve, which |is the resultant of these two forces. | But the surface of the earth is made up of fluid and solid matter. The for- mer, owing to its mobility, exhibits a greater tendency to obey the attractive influence, and therefore rises to meet th sun or moon. The great tidal waves take their rise in the deep Alitarctic ocean. In mid- ocean the water under the tidal influ- ence moves slowly, but when the wave | from a deep sea acts on the water of a shallow sea, or an estuary, then the tides are high. Local causes have great effect on the tides, so that at two sea- ports not many miles apart a differ- ence of many feet is found in the high water mark. The rapidity of the flow is some- times very great. It is said that in the Solway Firth the rising tide casover- take a man on horseback. As these ti- | dal waves beat against the shores of every continent and island in the world, except those which bound inland seas, | twice each day, the wearing action on | the shores must be immense. The ebb | tide carries out the eroded matter | which is either deposited in the deep |sea or swept away by the currents to | subside at a distance. | The system of ocean currents may | be thus described: The trade winds, as |is known, are caused by the heated | air rising in the equatorial regions, and | the cold and more dense air flowing |in from the poles to take its place. As | this sweeps the surface of the Antarc- | tic ocean it sets the water in motion in | the direction of the wind, producing | what is called a drift current. When | once a large body of fluid is set in mo- | tion its exhibits little disposition to re- | turn to its tranquil state, and if it be | acted upon by encouraging causes, a | permanent current is produced. For | example, take the current striking ag- | ainst the angle of South America.
